Install problem

[cisco_sleeper]

Guys this problem is driving me nuts. Im installing windows xp pro on a somwhat new system. This system was working 100% before the install. When i boot the cd, everything is fine. It goes threw the pre copy phase, loads all those files then it attempts to start windows. Then it just gives me a blue screen saying Session5_Initialization_Failed ... Ive tried everything, flashed the bios, disabled every port (usb, serial, printer) onboard sound, revomed all pci devices. I only have one ram module, cd rom and the hard disk and the grahpics card. It still gives me the error. So i took that hard disk out, put it in an older machine and used the same xp cd. It installed fine, no errors. So i get the drive out and install it back into the system that had problems installing it. It will still not load. I tried safe mode, it will stop at a driver called mup.sys... I am totally out of ideas, any help here??

duron 1.2
SL-75drv5 mother board
256mb ddr pc 2100
120 gig hard disk
16X dvd rom drive
geforce 2 440mx

They should make a brand of clothing called Cisco Router and Switch... Yah, that beats the hell out of Ambercrombie and whatever...

try running memtest86 to check your RAM. I had a similar problem installing Win98SE, I was getting all kinds of weird errors. When I checked the RAM, a stick was bad. Pulled it out, and everything installed great.

Spec:
Intel P4 2.4B
MSI 645E Max-U Mobo
512MB DDR333
GF3 ti200 64MB
SB Live 5.1
WD 60GB (Storage)
Maxtor 6GB (System)
Maxtor 120GB
LG 24x24x32 CDR
WIN2K PRo SP4

Ok wtf... WEll guys i got it working... heres the wholllleee story... This machine would run windows 2000, Me, 98 or anything else... Come to xp? IT SAYS [-peep-] YOU... I removed every piece of none critical hardware... And replaced the ram... No luck... I even put in a different power supply no luck... Then i was like ok its either the mother board or cpu... So i took a duron 700 out of my other desktop... Then i booted the computer... Guess what happened???? IT WORKS... Now im sittin here... Wondering why does this duron 1.2 not like xp... Im confused... lol I guess i really did earn my A+ lol....
Hope this helps someone else...

If it were true, you would get Intel, for now B- would do it 😉

Of coarse it is "cheaper!!!". That is the true, because you do not pay yerself for yer own time you wasting on "figuring out" the "problemas" with AMD 😉

And what problems are you talking about? I'm on a budget, so I always use AMD. I've never had any problems.
